northern spotted owl, as well as an occasional peregrine falcon. A variety of
wildlife makes its home in the area.

here briefly on the last leg of their long journey to the fertile valleys west
of the Cascades.

Located on the high and lovely Horseshoe Lake, just south of Monon Lake in the
Olallie Scenic Area, Horseshoe Lake Campground is sandwiched between the
shoreline of Horseshoe Lake and Forest Service Road 4220. Due to the area's
remote nature, although the campsites are just off of FSR 4220, few vehicles
pass by which makes this outdoor recreation area so special. The lake, as the
name implies, is horseshoe-shaped with a small channel leading to the lake's
southern half. Recreational activities include hiking, fishing, and non-
motorized boating.

## Overview

**Campground closed due to the 2020 Riverside Wildfire**

Indian Henry Campground is located in the Mount Hood National Forest, along
the scenic Clackamas River. The campground is a great location for relaxation
and a spectacular outdoor experience, providing ample access to the river and
the surrounding wilderness, as well as other scenic spots in the area.

## Recreation

The family-friendly Clackamas River Trail is popular for hiking and mountain
biking and begins at the upper end of the campground. It extends about 8 miles
and climbs about 450 feet in elevation along the way. It is available year-
round, but may be covered in snow during winter months. The Indian Henry
Trail, which trolls through the forest, is also located near the campground.  
  
Fishing is very popular in the nearby river and anglers can expect a catch of
winter steelhead, spring chinook and late summer kokanee salmon, as well as
other species of freshwater fish. Whitewater rafting is also enjoyed by
visitors to the area. The Clackamas River provides miles of wild water as it
bends through the scenic Cascade range.

## Facilities

The large campground offers dozens of single-family campsites for tent and RV
camping. Tent-only sites are available for reservation, while the rest of the
sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  
  
Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. A dump
station is located within the campground. Parking surfaces are mostly paved.
Accessible flush toilets and drinking water are also provided.

## Natural Features

The campground is situated at an elevation of 1,249 feet, in Oregon's Cascade
Mountains, nestled in a mixed forest of conifers and hardwoods, including
grand old Douglas firs and a variety of evergreens. A thick gathering of ferns
and ivy increase privacy between campsites. Some sites overlook the river and
others neighbor a mountain creek.

## Nearby Attractions

The picturesque, blue-green Surprise Lake is located not far from the
campground, up a steep climb. It is most popular for fishing, as the lake
isn't large enough for motorized boats.  
  
The Bagby Hot Springs are located about 20 miles southwest of the campground.
A popular site for soaking and relaxation, the springs are in a heavily wooded
forest in the scenic Cascade Mountains of Oregon. A historic guard station was
built there in 1913 and the available bathhouses are fed by three major hot
water springs and several minor outlets in the area.
